having a campout on an air craft carrier and they'll be serving hot
dogs for all in tents and porpoises.

I've seen this used a lot in other conferences, but I wouldn't
have expected it in this one!! Or has it somehow slipped into

I'll have to conceded that _alright_ appears in my dictionaries

Since "alot is alright" in your book, if you give me the title,
would you think it alright if I bought alot of copies? {:^P

| The following is not intended to make fun of anyone but to show how easy it is
for this to happen. And it happens to just about everyone. (Exceptions need
